Om det er presset fra de utallige anti-volds organisationer der har haft en finger med i det eller om spillet bare ikke er klar til hylderne vides ikke, men nu kan Eidos meddele at deres forhadte og yderst omtalte spil 25 to Life ikke udkommer i år. Bill Gardner der er CEO for den amerikanske publishing.del sagde:
"Following the recent management change and restructure, Eidos is able to reevaluate its calendar of releases giving us the opportunity to make changes in the best interest of the business. It is in light of this review that we have decided to move the ship date for 25 to Life from October 2005 into next year."
